UK inflation rose from 3.0% in February to 3.3% in March, according to data released on Wednesday. According to Jin10, this increase suggests that the Middle East conflict is beginning to impact prices. Before the US and Israel took action against Iran, the Bank of England indicated that UK inflation might approach its 2% target level in April. However, last month, the Bank of England significantly raised its inflation forecast due to an energy price shock, projecting inflation to rise to around 3.5% by mid-2026. The International Monetary Fund predicted last week that UK inflation would peak at 4% in the coming months. Despite these projections, most Bank of England policymakers believe it is too early to determine how the overall rise in inflation will affect underlying price pressures in the economy.

On April 21, 2026, at the Hong Kong Web3 Carnival main stage, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han delivered a keynote speech entitled "Move Everything On-Chain". Dr. Han pointed out that the current crypto market is still in a cyclical adjustment phase, with new asset issuance and trading activity declining simultaneously. However, the traditional financial market is performing relatively strongly, with a market capitalization more than 100 times larger and trading volume dozens of times higher than the crypto market. This phenomenon shows the divergence between TradFi and crypto, making RWA a key path connecting them. Dr. Han further predicted that the future of finance will move towards integration, and the industry classification will shift from "crypto vs. traditional" to "whether or not it is on-chain". Assets that are not on-chain will gradually be priced as inefficient assets. He reviewed the platform's 13-year development, noting that the Gate platform now serves over 52 million users, covers more than 80 jurisdictions, and manages over $10 billion in assets, evolving from a trading platform into a diversified global financial infrastructure. Gate is accelerating its on-chain deployment, planning to launch thousands of tokenized assets this year and expand into spot, perpetual, and CFD trading, driving the integration of CEXs and DEXs. The platform will continue to strengthen its on-chain and multi-asset capabilities, improve global asset liquidity, and further integrate on-chain finance with traditional markets.
